Sportcentrum Krekel Zuid, Izegem (KFC Mandel United Izegem-Ingelmunster)
Belgium, province: West Flanders
7 IX 2019 / KFC Mandel United - KFC Merelbeke 2-2 / VFV Division 2A (= BE level 4)
Note: KFC Mandel United Izegem-Ingelmunster came into being in 2017, the result of a merger between KFC Izegem and Olympic Molensport (OMS) Ingelmunster. Between 2017 and 2019, first team football was played at Ingelmunster's ground at Bollewerpstraat. Meanwhile, KFC Izegem's ground, the so-called Stedelijk Sportstadion, was stripped of its main stand and turned into a ground for American football and athletics purposes; and right besides, a new stadium was constructed - the ground shown in the pictures below. Inaugurated in September 2018, it was not until the start of the 2019/2020 season that Mandel's first team moved into the new premises. That same summer, a new club saw the daylight in Ingelmunster: SV Ingelmunster, who took over the Bollewerpstraat stadium. In 2021, upon being taken over by the Strive Football Group, an international investment consortium, KFC Mandel United Izegem-Ingelmunster took on the abbreviated name - note the French royal epithet 'R' instead of the Dutch 'K' for 'koninklijk') - RFC Mandel United.
